    Yeah, wow -- just saw this.



    Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead of an apparent drug overdose — in the bathroom with a hypodermic needle still in his arm — inside a Greenwich Village home on Sunday morning, cops said.
    A personal assistant found Hoffman’s body in an apartment at 35 Bethune St. and called 911 around 11:30 a.m, sources said.
    Cops are at the scene and are investigating, sources said.
    In 2006, Hoffman publicly admitted that he nearly succumbed to substance abuse graduating from NYU’s drama school, but got sober in rehab.
    “It was all that (drugs and alcohol), yeah. It was anything I could get my hands on…I liked it all,” he told “60 Minutes” as the time.
    Last year, Hoffman reportedly checked himself into rehab again for ten days after relapsing in 2012.
    TMZ said he began using prescription pills, then snorted heroin for about a week before realizing he needed help.

    What is it with these creative types and drugs? They just seem to go part and parcel.

    Terrible news. One of the greats of our time.

    Major heroin addict. Apparently NY heroine addicts are dropping this week because of a bad strain on the streets.

    At least it changed the Facebook threads, got everyone off of the Woody Allen topic.

    Tragic waste of talent. Recent heroin du jour in NYC is called NFL.

    I found his work very entertaining. How long until Facebook content turns into a website that is 90% women taking pictures of their offspring and talking about them?

    It would seem that by age 46 and a successful career and kids that he would dial back the drugs.

    Prescription drugs: gateway to heroin addiction.
    But, hey, they make more money for the people that make the rules, right?

    guess it shouldn't be strange that people don't get addiction on TGR, yet it is.

    TGR is an addiction to some.

    Yeah, but what makes you think one day "You know what? I think I'll try heroin!" Obviously it's hard to kick an addiction like that, but what makes someone decide to start it in the first place?

    He was an incredible actor and it's just so said to lose him to something so stupid.

    FAIL.

    If he could control it selflessly, though power of will for the sake of family it would not be an uncontrollable addiction.
